Verse 1 Every touch pulls a memory deep Buried sharp where the shadows creep I’ve patched myself, but the cracks still show Shattered skin from long ago Chorus I wear shattered skin, rough to the touch Hardened by the years, but it still hurts this much I’m bleeding slow from what’s within Living in this shattered skin Verse 2 I’ve built my armor out of quiet pain But the jagged edges cut just the same Smiling through the ache that I can’t outgrow Holding on to pieces I should let go Chorus I wear shattered skin, rough to the touch Hardened by the years, but it still hurts this much I’m bleeding slow from what’s within Living in this shattered skin Bridge Light catches where the surface breaks Beauty in the mess that the fracture makes I’m not unmarked, I’m not pristine But every scar tells where I’ve been Final Chorus I wear shattered skin, rough to the touch Hardened by the years, but it still hurts this much I’m bleeding slow from what’s within Living in this shattered skin Living in this shattered skin
